Rejected petition MPs should pay bedroom tax on their second home paid for by the public purse'

More details

The bedroom tax is unfair and discriminatory against the poorest people.
MPs however, some of the most priveliged get a second home paid for by us! They should pay bedroom tax as well as the rent for the weeks they do not use it. If the governed want to save money, then this inefficient use of public funds needs addressing.
